Man allegedly steals orange juice, taunts clerk at Lorain 7-Eleven

LORAIN — Police were called to 7-Eleven, 3054 North Leavitt Road, about 1:15 a.m. April 24 in response to a petty theft complaint.
They arrested William Crim, 22, on a petty theft charge, according to a police report.
Upon arrival police made contact with the store’s clerk who told them Crim had entered the store, grabbed a bottle of orange juice, set it on the counter and asked for a pack of Newport cigarettes.
But Crim then exited the store without paying and ignored the clerk’s requests to pay. The clerk said he was not too concerned about the incident until Crim returned and began knocking on the window and looking at the clerk “with a blank stare.”
At that point the clerk told Crim to leave or he would call the police and Crim allegedly responded, “go ahead and call them.”
According to the police report, when police arrived they located Crim on the north side of the building smoking a cigarette with an open bottle of orange juice between his legs. Crim was arrested on petty theft charges and taken to the Lorain City Jail.
